Description
The Edinburgh Beer Factory is a family run, independent brewery launched in 2015 to make people think again about beer and Scotland. Founded by the Dunsmore family, we’ve grown to great big family of 20+ team members.

Like Edinburgh we’re creative, inventive and outward-looking. We combine old and new ideas and techniques to create beers of beauty.

Inspired by the Edinburgh-born ‘Father of Pop Art’ Eduardo Paolozzi, we showcase the art of brewing. Paolozzi took everyday objects and transformed them into works of art; we take overlooked and underestimated beer styles and present them at their beautiful best.

Bottle from Cork & Cask. Hazy brown body with a thick beige head. Lively carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of Dr Pepper, earth, red apple and toffee. Flavour of copper, crystallised orange and stewed tea. Medium body with a silky texture. Light fizz. It’s good to see this brewery finally release a new beer; ever since they opened I’ve been hoping to see small-batch releases and collaborations. I really enjoyed this and look forward to the others in the series.

Bottle from Beer52. Deep gold, no head. Light fizz, but does feel a little flat. Whiff of cereal and light lemon, along with a touch of cardboard. Cardboard on initial taste, then caramel, floral honey and a touch of grass and sweet spice. Quite sweet, albeit with a little hint of dryness in the finish. Grew on me after a poor start, but badly let down by poor condition, despite being well within date.

33cl bottle from Beer52.com. A straw coloured pour with a thin white head and moderate carbonation; floral aroma with some breakfast cereal; sweet grainy body with a crisp, clean, grassy bitterness; and a touch of honey on the finish. Definitely a step up from a macro lager.
